Title:
do-release-upgrade fails if UTF-8 comments in sources.list
Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This has been found out and proven while trying to upgrade several
machines from Precise to Quantal Alpha3.
It may or may not still be true with latest version of do-release-
upgrade ...?
do-release-upgrade will fail miserably, python complaining about can't
parse UTF-8, if any "deb" line in /etc/apt/sources.list or
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/* has a trailing "#" comment containg UTF-8
chars such as accentuated éèà ...
The matter is that some of these comments containing UTF-8 may have
been auto-generated when upgrading from previous Ubuntu versions...
Depending upon system locale, etc.
Removing said characters in comments allow do-release-upgrade to then
succed, so the problem is 100% sure, proven and located.
